Overview

Katy is named for the Missouri-Kansas-Texas Railroad (commonly referred to as the "K-T Railroad", now a part of Union Pacific) that ran through Katy in the 19th century. Katy was once known as Cane Island. The name is derived from Cane Island Creek which runs just west of downtown. Cane Creek is a branch of Buffalo Bayou. The origins of the name Cane Island are believed to be from the fact that Katy was once a major sugar cane producer and rice producer. It has a festival the second weekend in October to honor and recoginize the former rice proudcing town. The Houston suburb's prime attraction is the Katy Mills Mall, one of the United States's largest shopping malls. The Missouri-Kansas-Texas Railroad (known as the MKT, or Katy) began as the Union Pacific Railway, Southern Branch (unrelated to the Union Pacific Railroad) in 1865. ...

Katy vs. Katy area

Katy residents often split the city into two informal sections: "Old Katy" (or Katy Proper) and "Katy Area". Old Katy is the actual city limits of Katy and lies mostly north of Interstate 10. This is the original Katy from before the 1970s when Houston's Energy Corridor (and the development that came with it) made its way west on I-10. Interstate 10 in Texas, (abbreviated I-10 or IH-10), the major east-west Interstate Highway in the Southern United States, runs east from El Paso, Texas, near the border with New Mexico, through San Antonio and Houston to the border with Louisiana near Orange, Texas. ...

The "Katy area" is made up of large sections of unincorporated Harris and Fort Bend counties and mostly sits east and southeast of the city limits of Katy. This area is within the Katy Independent School District and nearly everyone in this area has a Katy postal address. Harris County is a county located in the U.S. state of Texas within the Houston–Sugar Land–Baytown metropolitan area. ... Fort Bend County is a county located along the Gulf Coast region in the U.S. state of Texas within the Houston–Sugar Land–Baytown metropolitan area. ...

The Katy area includes new upscale developments and master planned communities such as Cinco Ranch, Wood Creek Reserve, Grayson Lakes, Seven Meadows, Firethorne and Grand Lakes, while also encompassing developments from the 1970s and 1980s such as Memorial Parkway, Kelliwood and Nottingham Country. Cinco Ranch is a census-designated place and master-planned, unincorporated community located in the extraterritorial jurisdiction of Houston within Fort Bend County and Harris County, Texas. ... Memorial Parkway is a neighborhood in Harris County, Texas, east of the city of Katy. ... An editor has expressed a concern that the subject of the article does not satisfy the notability guideline or one of the following guidelines for inclusion on Wikipedia: Biographies, Books, Companies, Fiction, Music, Neologisms, Numbers, Web content, or several proposals for new guidelines. ...

All of the "Katy area" lies in the city of Houston's extraterritorial jurisdiction (ETJ), not Katy's ETJ. This means that the areas of "Katy area" are controlled by the city of Houston and the city has the ability to annex it in the future. The city of Katy cannot annex this area unless the city of Houston releases the area's ETJ to Katy, which has occurred in several small chunks in recent years. The most recent instance of this was in 2001 when Houston ceded about 400 acres (1.6 km²) of ETJ to the City of Katy to allow the Katy Mills Mall and surrounding parking lot to be built entirely within the City of Katy. Houston redirects here. ... Extraterritorial jurisdiction or ETJ is the legal ability of a government to exercise authority beyond its normal boundaries. ...

A refuge for hurricane victims

The Katy area absorbed several thousand refugees in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. No attempt has been made to get an accurate count of how many refugees from Louisiana and Mississippi are in the region. The Katy Independent School District reported on September 7, 2005 that it received 1,161 new students in the district as a result of the hurricane. Mayor Doyle Callender in a Houston Chronicle interview on September 14, 2005 estimated there are 3,000 to 4,000 evacuees in the Katy area shelters while 500 of those are in shelters within the Katy city limits.

There are likely thousands more in permanent housing units throughout the Katy area. One of the primary reasons why Katy absorbed such a large number of refugees from Hurricane Katrina is its location on Interstate 10, the major east-west artery through the area and direct feeder route of refugees from New Orleans and the Gulf Coast region of Mississippi. Nobody in the mandatory evacuations in the aftermath of the storm was evacuated to the Katy area initially; a small number of refugees originally housed in the Reliant Astrodome in Houston were bussed into the Katy area several days after their arrival in the Texas Gulf Coast region.

Community information

The Katy Family YMCA is located in nearby Cinco Ranch in unincorporated Fort Bend County. The YMCA was formerly named after Ken Lay, due to his having given an endowment of over $1 million.

In June 2006 Lay asked for his money to be returned in the wake of his legal trouble surrounding the Enron Scandal; consequently his name was removed and the YMCA was renamed the Katy Family YMCA.
